Sands, Clays and Soils

Our range of Sands, Clays and Soils. This includes; Soil Study, such as the difference between Clay, Sand and Peat soils as part of school teaching; and Deposits. Deposits such as Glacial Sands, Clays and Shell Bed samples are all available as either small sample containers, or loose 1kg bags.

A range of Sands, Clays and Soils are available in our special resealable, fully labelled containers. Deposits such as Glacial Sands, and Shell Bed samples from the Pliocene and Pleistocene, make both excellent samples for studying by hand, or for viewing under a microscope.

These special samples are rich in fossils, and have been pre-sieved to offer the maximum fossil concentration. Most of the samples contain fossils which would need a microscope to view, although a few larger samples do offer fossils that can be viewed by the naked eye.
